'I would say to both the Mayor of London and to Jeremy Corbyn: the discussions that we have had today are about the future of this most important relationship between the US and the UK' Theresa May says UK-US relationship is one 'we should cherish.'
UK Prime Minister Theresa May stressed the importance of the U.S.-UK"special relationship"in dealing with Iran, but noted"we stand by the nuclear deal" at a joint news conference on Tuesday with President Donald Trump.
The two leaders came from a meeting earlier at 10 Downing Street where they continued discussions about a post-Brexit trade deal. "I don’t know exactly what your timing is but stick around let’s do this deal," Trump said to the outgoing prime minister -- seemingly in jest -- in remarks before cameras at the beginning of a roundtable with U.S. and UK businesses.
The day began with business. President Trump attended a business breakfast meeting at St. James’s Palace co-hosted by May that brought together major U.S. and UK business leaders. In the meeting with US and UK businesses, the president praised the strong trade relationship that already exists between the two countries and predicted that there is a"great opportunity to tremendously expand that relationship."
